Colin Hart, the former Deep Purple and Rainbow tour manager devoted over thirty years of his life to these great rock musicians. This is his story and indeed theirs. A tale of excess in terms of greed, petulance, anger and devotion. It is counter balanced by extremes of pure talent, showmanship and, of course musicianship. He was the constant 'man in the middle' through all of the break ups, make-ups and revolving door line-up changes. Joining them at twenty-four years old and leaving with a curt email dismissal thirty years later, he was there every step of their rock 'n' roll way. A story of two of the most innovative, often copied, rock bands; seen through the eyes, ears and emotions of their 'mother hen' (as Jon Lord described him). He was their minder, chauffeur, carer, provider, protector, father confessor & confidant. In truth he is the only one who can tell this tale of both bands as he was the only one there on the road throughout the life of, not one, but both gigantic bands.#colinhart #aheartlife #book #rainbow #purple #manager #jonlord #deeppurple #buy #now

Here comes progressive rock from Italy. It is Umberto Paganinis project called Active Heed. The project is active since august 2012.

Active Heeds influences comes from bands like Yes, Genesis, Ayreon, Dream Theater to name a few. This is their first debut CD and you will be surprised about the singer and musicians talents.When you hear this CD you will think that they have been in the biz since many many years.

Active Heed s CD was released in September 2013. The CD contains 15 songs and you can purchase it through Amazon for example. Catchy tunes,

awesome vocals. Umberto Paganini wrote all lyris and music himself and did a bond with other musicians to breathe life into Active Heed.

For all those who haven`t checked out the band yet do it now. You can watch two videos on youtube: WITH JOY and MELTING OF REALITIES.

My personal favourite song by the way is FLYING LIKE A FLY. Also I love ME FIVE SECONDS before it is a real earworm. All songs are really made for radioairplay and broadcasting worldwide. Hope someone will detect this awesome band from Italy.

Unfortunately Power Theorys current drummer Lorin will have to step down as his ankle will require surgery and it's affecting his mechanics, this is a difficult mutual decision by Lorin and the band. So the band are seeking a pro level metal drummer with impeccable timing and double bass skills to record the drum tracks for our new album and shows in January 2014 as well as Ragnarökkr Metal Apocalypse in April 2014 on Chicago. All interested parties please contact us here or via email at: hardattackent@gmail.com
